Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

On the first day of May, Ling Yunsu, Shen Hao, and Shen Hong returned with seven people from the Shen Family Escort Agency, along with ten spears and a bronze long-barreled cannon.

Shen Jia picked up the spear and tried it, then carefully observed the bronze long-barreled cannon. Alarm bells rang in her heart, as the Western firearms technology was better than she had imagined.

Xiao Yichen's face tensed. He thought of the story Shen Jia told him, the story of how the country lost its sovereignty and was humiliated by the Eight-Nation War. Suddenly, a warning bell rang in his heart, "Jia Jia, we can't fall behind others. When we come back from Tatar, we will recruit outstanding craftsmen from all over the country to come to Beijing to study firearms.

We will also hold an innovation conference, and welcome all the people in Dazhou who are keen on invention and creation to sign up. In this way, we will be able to select a lot of talents. "

Shen Jia nodded, "This is a good idea. We can reimburse the travel expenses and living expenses of anyone who signs up, and we will give generous bonuses to those who excel.

As long as there are new inventions and new phenomena, we are happy to accept and spread them. In this way, the scientific and technological development of Da Zhou will be unprecedentedly improved and will not lag behind any country. "

"By then, we can open large-scale workshops. With the workshop system, their R&D progress will be faster and their manufacturing level will be higher..."

The two men became more and more excited as they talked, and they couldn't wait to destroy the Tatars.

In fact, they could no longer hold back. Following Xiao Yichen's series of commands, the five thousand elite soldiers made full preparations.

On the tenth day of May, Xiao Yichen and Shen Jia led five thousand elite cavalrymen northward. They traveled day and night, and entered the territory of Tatar half a month later.

What appeared before their eyes was an endless prairie. May was the season of lush green grass. The wind blew the grass low and cattle and sheep could be seen. The green grass met the blue sky, and herds of cattle and sheep could be seen chasing each other everywhere, with felt tents everywhere.

From a distance, the felt tents look like white pearls sparkling on soft grass flannel, or like white flowers blooming on the green grassland, forming a beautiful landscape on the grassland.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen are strict in military discipline and cannot disturb ordinary people at will.

When the herdsmen saw the Great Zhou army, it was not known whether they were afraid of its strength or because they saw that the Great Zhou army did not come forward to harass them. In any case, the Great Zhou army marched straight in, and no herdsmen came forward to stop them until they reached the Tatar royal court.

The Tatar Imperial Court was not like the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, which was full of carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite pavilions, and white jade steps. The Tatar Khan lived in a large tent that could accommodate thousands of people.

At this time, members of the Tatar royal family and important officials of the court were sitting together in the Khan's tent. Everyone had a solemn expression and fell into deathly silence. No one spoke a word.

The big tent was guarded by burly guards holding scimitars.

After a long pause, the Khan spoke solemnly, "The Great Zhou army will be here soon. Don't you have anything to say?"

A look of determination flashed across the face of the second Tatar prince. "Father Khan, there is an old saying in the Central Plains, 'As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.' As long as we are alive, we will have a chance to start over in the future. Let's escape quickly! Escape to the Kingdom of Wu."

"I agree. We are a nomadic people who live wherever there is water and grass. We will settle down in Wu first and then find an opportunity to come back later."

"I agree. The Great Zhou has powerful weapons. The 250,000-man army led by the Third Prince was annihilated by them. We are simply unable to compete with them now. Escape is the only way out."

"I will not run away. I am a Tatar warrior, a brave man blessed by the Eternal Heaven. I will never abandon my homeland."

"I won't run away either. I will stay and fight the Great Zhou army to the bitter end..."

The Tatar Khan pinched his brows, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and scanned the people present: "At this point, I will not force you. You can leave or stay as you wish."

Then he said to the second prince: "Altaïr, immediately gather all the royal cavalry and follow us to Wu. Once we occupy Wu, we can make long-term plans." "Yes"

When the others heard this, they realized that the Khan had run away, and they would just be cannon fodder if they stayed here!
They are a nation of horsemen, so they can adapt to life there quickly. Maybe they can even rob a lot of supplies by following the Khan to Wuguo!
As a result, the people present quickly scattered and left.

It has to be said that the Tatars were really fast. In just over an hour, the Tatar Khan and the second prince had gathered 40,000 troops including the Tatar royal family, nobles, ministers, and guards.

"Set off"

Following the order from the Tatar Khan, 40,000 horses squeezed their horses' bellies at the same time, high-pitched neighs were heard, and 40,000 horses spread their hooves and galloped at high speed.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves in front of them, and their hearts suddenly sank. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Are they running away?"

Shen Jia raised his eyebrows: "I guess they received the news that we were coming to their door."

Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly: "From the direction they fled and the thunderous sound of horse hooves, they should be trying to escape to Wu Country and annex Wu Country by the way."

The State of Wu originally belonged to the grassland tribe, but later became independent.

Batu had mentioned to them that the Tatar Khan wanted to attack Wu, but because Wu's resources were not as abundant as those of the Great Zhou, he finally decided to attack the Great Zhou first and then deal with Wu. According to the current situation, the Tatar Khan is most likely to flee to Wu.

A sly smile flashed across Shen Jia's clear and lively eyes: "We can bypass the imperial court and take another road, and then intercept them from the front. Do you think they will be surprised to see us?"

With the route map provided by the map, it was not difficult for them to bypass the tribe where the royal court was located and intercept them in front.

Xiao Yichen took out the map. There was a mountain range a thousand miles away from the Tatar royal court, which was the only way to the Wu Kingdom.

There are three roads leading to the mountains from the Tatar royal court, one of which is a shortcut that requires crossing a snow-capped mountain that is covered with snow all year round.

This shortcut is not suitable for large troops, but it is suitable for small teams.

To be on the safe side, he pointed at the map and said, "Master Ling, Shen Hao, you lead the Tianji Pavilion and the Flying Tigers to take a shortcut to this mountain range. Jia Jia and I will lead the main force to take a detour from here to the mountain range. If you encounter the Tatars, throw a few bombs and run away. Don't fight them head-on. Save your life first."

"Yes," the two responded, and then left with Tianji Pavilion and Flying Tigers.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen did not waste any time and immediately waved to the large army behind them. Thousands of horses raised their hooves and galloped forward with the sound of thundering hooves.

Marching day and night was nothing for the soldiers who trained day and night. They could get through it by gritting their teeth. But for Li Yue and other members of the female medical team, it was really too much to bear.

Especially riding a horse would rub both sides of the thighs so hard that they would feel burning pain.

Shen Jia took some time to get them a few bottles of ointment: "Are you all okay?"

"Very good!" several people responded in unison. (End of this chapter)
